actually that is kinput protocol, not XIM.

I don't have that option in the standard app-defaults for kterm
on SuSE Linux (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ja/app-defaults/KTerm). But I start
kterm in ~/.xim (which is sourced from ~/.xinitrc) like:

            export XMODIFIERS="@example.com=kinput2"
            kinput2 -xim -kinput -canna &

Started like this, kinput2 will support both, kinput protocol and XIM.
If kterm is started without commandline options, it will default
to kinput protocol. If it is started like "kterm -xim" or if

    KTerm*openIM: true

is set in the app-defaults or ~/.Xresources, it will use XIM
instead. From the user point of view, there is no difference, kterm
behaves the same and works equally well with both protocols.
